Bonjour!

Please return any outstanding library books back tomorrow as we have our library day on Thursday.

Today, we had a great day! The students were so excited to find all 6 gingerbread men around the classroom. I have now moved them so that they have a new challenge tomorrow morning.

We finished our recent art project this morning and the hats and mittens are now hanging in the class. Afterwards, we did some letter and number review on the SMARTboard and played a musical-chairs type game to practice the emotions vocabulary that we have been working on. When the music stopped, I would say an emotion in French and the students would have to stop moving and make a face that matches the emotion.

After centres, we talked about what the students remembered from the story we read yesterday and then I read a French book about the gingerbread man. After I had finished reading, I ask the class what were some differences and some similarities between the two stories.

Bonjour! I have now posted the November calendar on the blog. I have also created a new page to provide you with the questions for the monthly homework. The questions can be copied and pasted into a word document for printing or written out on another paper. The homework is due on November 25th; please keep the sheet at home and practice with your child until the due date.  If you have any questions, please let me know. For those who celebrate, I wish you a happy and safe Halloween! Bonne fin de semaine!  Mme Emily

Bonjour, Our class is still looking for a volunteer for Friday morning. If you can come, please sign up, it would be greatly appreciated. During our French circle time this morning, we practiced saying how old we are in French, which is a part of this month's homework. Today, we also expanded on our health conversation from yesterday by writing about good health in our journals and drawing at least three different healthy habits. Afterwards, the students had music with Mme Edgett and centre time. During centre time, we did some painting! At the end of the day, I introduced the final three letter sounds, "X", "Y", and "Z". The students were so excited that we've reached the of the alphabet. We will continue practicing letter sound and identifying them in our classroom songs and vocabulary.

Bonjour, Today we talked about health, what it means to be healthy, and healthy habits. I loved hearing what the students had to contribute to this conversation. They said so much more than I thought they would! I put some of the quotes from our discussion below. “Don’t watch too much television” - H.Y “Don’t eat too much sugar” - J.A “There’s also one more vegetable thing that’s healthy, there a circle that’s red, it’s called a tomato. It’s healthy because it has seeds inside of it” - M.F “When I was sick, sleep helped me get better” E.G “You have to wash your hands so all the germs come off.” - D.C Today, we had gym outside because there were performers setting up in the gym. The students got play on the park and then played a game of noodle tag. After gym, we ate a quick snack and went to watch an opera show with the rest of the school. I think it was interesting for the students to see a style of performance that they aren'...
